New Canvas and Inspiration

I had my eye on this book ever since I flipped though it at the local book store. It arrived (Amazon order) yesterday and really has my drawing juices flowing.

The Future of Fantasy Art

I also got a copy of ArtRage 2.6


I was looking for a simpler drawing program. This offers a nice suite of drawing tools and some features that hooked me:
- Drawing rulers and stencils
- Reference Image viewer
That and the price of $20 was a great deal. I’ll still use Corel Painter for some greater details and effects.

So I’m using this sketch in ArtRage to get use to using its features. This sketch, showing a warrior moving swiftly into battle,

as a study in capturing motion.

Throw in the new Wacom Bamboo Pen I got and I have my hands full, literally, of good drawing going on.
